neighbor grass is always greener I guess, I'm in Chile (that country that looks like a tail conveniently located in the ass of the planet) and we have been over 33ºC for about two months after the the high temps should have ended and not a drop of water since forever. Well we had some lousy drops a few days ago. And here the electricity is not cheap so no AC :)

But on the bright side besides the droughts, we have volcanoes, earthquakes (look at a list of the biggest ones in history) and occasional wildfires, did I mentioned tsunamis?. We have great landscapes tho :)

Hahaha I totally get that being born in South America myself as well.

I’m from south Brazil originally, spent over 20 years there, definitely don’t miss the intense summer heat with no AC, my city constantly hit over 40ºC but I guess now I have to deal with -40ºC instead 😁

I think astronomers got it wrong, over 35ºC is not "habitable zone", with those temps they'll have to look for forms of life that have AC.
